Flipping America

Brian Dally, Ground Floor Funding

Expected Air Date: 2/2/19

A little over a year ago we asked everyone in our group what were their biggest needs in their real estate investing work. They were:

1. Deals
2. Money to do the deals.
3. Help, advice, mentoring for the opportunities they were considering.

You spoke -- we heard you. As you may have heard, the Flipping America Network is about to be released in the wild. This is the Buying platform for real estate investors nationwide. Post your property in the FAN and it will be seen by hundreds (we hope thousands) of investors including possibly someone in your zip code. My dream is that one day anyone can jump into the FAN and find a deal.

1. The FAN connects real estate investor buyers with actual properties (no dummy listings).
2. The FAN allows wholesalers to post their properties. There’s no need to build buyers lists, and maintain mailing list programs. Focus on deal flow.
3. The FAN allows homeowners to list their home for sale providing a direct connection to cash buyers.
4. Buyers can reserved 48 hour exclusive access to their favorite ZIP codes.

So that’s deal flow.

How about the money?

At this moment, there are literally billions of dollars available to real estate investors. Just in my Atlanta network we get contacted by a new hard money source nearly every week. It is NOT difficult to find. However, it can be a challenge to afford. Wait, if I’m borrowing the money for a project, what is there to afford? First you have to make a downpayment, usually 10-20% of the purchase price. Then you have to pay the loan origination fees up front. On just an average loan this can be $25,000. You will probably have to keep three months of payments in your bank account so that could be another 6-10 thousand. And you have to make those monthly payments. So how many of these can you do at one time? For most people it’s ONE. If they can afford anything that’s all they can afford. That means if you hustle and finish in six months you can do two projects in one year. If you make 40k in each deal after expenses, it’s a decent year. But I bet you’re not ready to quit your day job yet.

Enter the Flipping America Fund, working with DT Investments. We are looking nationwide for qualified operating partners who choose to become a part of our family and access funding for their deals. In short -- we put up the money -- you do the work -- and we split the profit. If you have the contracting and management capacity, there is virtually no limit to the number of deals you can do. Your net take away from each deal may be less, but suppose it’s 30 thousand instead of 40. And suppose you can do ten deals a year instead of 2. I think you see the advantage.

This opportunity isn’t for just anyone. We have to be persuaded that you are a good fit with us. You’ll need to demonstrate proficiency in flipping. Although designed for experienced and effective investors, There is a possibility we will fund newer people as well, but there will be more hoops to jump through and possibly a training requirement.

This funding model has always been a part of our vision here at Flipping America but we have been rolling it out carefully, slowly, and with many tweaks to the program while operating at a small scale. We believe we are ready now to scale this and it’s about to happen.

My guest today is Brian Dally, co-founder of Ground Floor Funding. Ground Floor is an innovative crowd-funded platform that allows passive investors the opportunity to be involved in the activity of people flipping houses. It’s a cool platform and you can make good returns on your money there. We will talk about Ground Floor and it’s operations, but in the second segment of our interview, Brian and I are going to announce one of the biggest developments in the history of Flipping America - a joint venture project. In about three months you will be able to go onto Ground Floor’s website and invest in the Flipping America fund, which will spread your investment over a number of projects being completed by our Flipping America Operators nationwide. And as we split the profits with our Operators, this return will create a dividend for you. Stay tuned and you’ll hear about this incredible opportunity.

• Hey would you buy me lunch just so you could pick my brain? For less than the price of that lunch, just $9.67 per month, you can have a whole month’s worth of my brain pickings by joining the Premium membership. Just go to flippingamericanetwork.com and click on the FAN. On this show I keep a pretty narrow focus on real estate and small business development. But if you subscribe to my FAN premium blog you’ll find out what I think about a wide variety of topics. I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I’m going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests. Coming up in the next few weeks I’m going to weigh in on the immigration debate, I’ll be talking about the notion that “you shouldn’t listen to what anyone says, just be yourself.” (one of the more misguided ideas of our time). And I’m going to spend a little time talking about how we learn because we should be making that part of our life journey. I’ll tell you the books I’m reading, the thoughts I’m thinking and the way I’m taking my business.All for less than it would cost you to buy me lunch.

• Now for the really big announcement. Would you like to invest in the Flipping America projects across the country? Coming soon you will be able to for as little as $10. That’s right, Flipping America is partnering with Ground Floor Funding to create a crowd-funded platform where you can invest in the deals we are doing here. The fund will pay out a 6% preferred rate of return and can go as high as 20%. We have some hoops to jump through at the SEC, which is not open right now but it can’t stay closed forever, right? Once the government reopens we will be about 60 days from launch of this new venture. You can make money with me, the Flipping America Guy.
• Flipping America App is in the app store. You can listen to the show, read the show notes, and the entire catalog of shows is now available to you.

• Zeke, Baltimore, MD. “I went to your website to look at the inexpensive houses you’ve talked about and there is only one house there. Will you be getting more? Is this going to continue?”
• Annalie, Centralia, IL , “I saw you have a house in Du Quoin, about 45 miles away from here. I want to know how you, in Atlanta, GA found a house in Du Quoin, IL. And why would you buy it? I’m just curious.”
• Stanley, Villages of Ocala, FL “I’m always interested in low priced properties and like the cheap houses, but how do you make repairs on a house hundreds of miles away, and how do you look after the tenants?”
• Allison, Pittsburgh, PA, “I researched a couple of the houses you had on the site before they were sold off. You’re asking 10,000 and they are only worth $25-30k and they need work. It doesn’t seem like the numbers add up for a flip property.”
• Buck, Macon GA “What minimum credit score should the people have in these inexpensive houses for me to sell to them? And how do I find that out?”
• Madison, Milwaukee, PA “How do you collect the payment for these inexpensive houses? Do they mail a check? I’m imagining the hassle of dealing with returned checks over long distances, etc. It makes me uneasy.”

Tom Zeeb

Expected Air Date: 1/28/19

Great show coming up today. We are going to be joined in a moment by Tom Zeeb, a Washington DC investor with a true rags to riches story. 15 years ago Tom was broke as a joke. A near-death experience while rafting pushed him to find a new way to break free of his 9-to-5 job. Real estate investing saved him. Both personally and financially. Hundreds of deals later, he is happy to share the same techniques that set him free, so you can do the same.

• Cecilia, Conyers, GA.
  • I'm new to real estate, it has been a long time dream to invest in real estate. I currently own a duplex (owner occupied) and the other unit is vacant since November 2018. My dilemma is where to begin with financing. My credit is in the 600s but my debt to income ratio is too high to add anything else to my credit as far as a personal loan. I've lived here for a yr, I do not know if I have any equity in the home to do a HELOC. Which leads to my first question.
  • Who besides from a bank would offer a loan to do repairs on my unit so I can rent it out quickly? The AC unit went out, painting of entire unit (3 bd/2.5ba unit), the stairs seem unstable, the front and back yard need grading/leveling, and a small patch or replacement of a short walkway is needed. Also, the water line on my side needs replacing.
  • I learned some hard lessons about tenants and partial payments. The tenant left owing about $4,000 in past rent. I need an attorney that can keep me safe as a landlord and also keep me informed on what I can and can not do. A good lease agreement is needed.
  • What attorneys, tax advisers, contractors, plumbers, painters, real estate agents, inspectors, etc. do you recommend to be a part of my team? I need this support system.
  • Send me the list of your 29 questions to ask potential team members.
  • The tenant left items in the unit, how long do I need to legally hold them? I've contacted her and let her know she can come get them but no response. Her mail still comes to the unit. I did not officially evict her we simply did not renew the lease. I want to be free and clear from this tenant and move on to do this landlord thing the right way or find a good property manager that will.
  • I feel like I did not do enough due diligence when I purchased this property however, I have the property and want to make the best of it. The neighborhood is not the greatest and would love to move once I build my reserve back up. I depleted most of my assets to obtain the duplex.
  • My interest is to buy and hold rentals. I believe one more duplex in my portfolio would be good before purchasing a single family to move into. This will allow me to pay down debt and build my cash reserves. Any suggestions or need to know info would be greatly appreciated.

  • What attorneys, tax advisers, contractors, plumbers, painters, real estate agents, inspectors, etc. do you recommend to be a part of my team? I need this support system.
  • Send me the list of your 29 questions to ask potential team members.
  • The tenant left items in the unit, how long do I need to legally hold them? I've contacted her and let her know she can come get them but no response. Her mail still comes to the unit. I did not officially evict her we simply did not renew the lease. I want to be free and  clear from this tenant and move on to do this landlord thing the right way or find a good property manager that will.
  • I feel like I did not do enough due diligence when I purchased this property however, I have the property and want to make the best of it. The neighborhood is not the greatest and would love to move once I build my reserve back up. I depleted most of my assets to obtain the duplex.
  • My interest is to buy and hold rentals. I believe one more duplex in my portfolio would be good before purchasing a single family to move into. This will allow me to pay down debt and build my cash reserves. Any suggestions or need to know info would be greatly appreciated.

"House Flipping is Dead"

Expected Air Date: 1/21/19

"House Flipping is Dead! Long live Flipping Houses!"

Have you ever wondered about that phrase, "The King is dead - long live the king!"? The first time I heard it I must have been in middle school (we called it Junior High School back then) watching a movie. Aside from the apparent contradiction,which is actually a literary device known as epanalepsis, I figured it probably had something to do with declaring the next guy king. It turns out I was right. It started with the French in the 1400's and spread throughout Europe as a way to provide stability in the kingdoms and avoid civil war after the death of a monarch. It's like saying "Charles VI is dead, long live Charles VII." But that doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way does it?

So today I'm proclaiming that House Flipping is Dead. And at the same time I'm saying "Long Live Flipping Houses." I'm not the official real estate coroner so this is just my opinion, but we are at what could be a crisis-point in residential real estate investing. The real estate markets are cooling off. Sales all along the west coast experienced double digit drops in the last half of last year when compared to the prior year. Averages days on market is on the rise all across the country. Interest rates more than doubled last year. The tax cuts of 2017 took their toll on the sales of houses priced at $750,000 and up. The slow down is dramatic. In the midst of all of this the major real estate gurus are raking in tens of millions of dollars while pushing out thousands of freshly "trained" real estate investors into the marketplace. (You can't see this, but I used air quotes around the word "trained".) These investors are competing for a product pool that is drying up, driving up prices, reducing and sometimes eliminating profits. They have just spent 30-50,000 for their training and believe they have to buy something - anything to justify that expense and get them started into their dream career. Wholesalers see what is happening and are more than willing to prey on their naivete, asking for and receiving enormous fees for flipping paper. All of this frenzied activity is focused on a market that is receding, making opportunities for genuine profit slim indeed. Because of tightened lending requirements beginning back in 2010, foreclosure rates today are at an all-time low. While this seems like good news, it means there are fewer distress sales for the house flippers. So congratulations to the home-owners and to the vultures waiting for failures we say "see ya pal - better luck next time." Higher prices, fewer opportunities, longer days on market, bigger rehabs in older houses, permitting difficulties with municipalities, inexperienced and unqualified individuals gumming up the works for the true professionals in the field, and hedge funds that continue to pay too much for any property that fits their buying criteria combine to create a big mess. In the next few months, many of these new investors will run out of time and money, give up, close up shop, and slink away to lick their wounds. Some will turn to social media and blame their gurus. A crisis is coming and it is unavoidable. Those who don't know what they are doing will be out -- no matter what they spent on their so-called training. Wholesalers who know nothing about what they are doing will be gone. The naive and uniformed will be gone. What will remain are a few knowledgeable people who didn't need the gurus in the first place and a bunch of con men, waiting for the next crop of easy marks. This is why I have today proclaimed that "House Flipping is Dead."

Long Live Flipping Houses!

If you're thinking that previous section doesn't sound like me, you are probably correct. All I have done is put all of the "sky is falling" messages into one place for your convenience. And I point out -- you can find evidence to support whatever viewpoint you choose ahead of time. If you are willing to engage in selective interpretation you can make almost any illusion seem like reality. The fact is, everything I just told you is a fact. The only thing I don't believe is that house flipping is dead. The house flipping of the past five years probably IS dead - and it needs to go ahead and pass on. But that House Flipping method was born only in about 2012. The previous House Flipping died around that time, but it had only been born in 2008. The House Flipping I knew died in 2007.

So in my short 17 years in this business I've seen House Flipping, as we knew it then, die and be re-born at least twice. This will be the third time. But don't worry - it will be back.

We believe writing was invented about 6000 years ago in ancient Babylonia. Two weeks later someone wrote down the details of a real estate transaction. A month after that, the first property flip in history occurred. OK, I'm a little fuzzy on the precise dates of those transactions of course, but my point is, real estate investing has been around for as long as anyone has been keeping written records, and probably thousands of years before. Much of the history of humanity has been centered around the acquisition of real estate. It's nothing new and it will never go away.

I've heard a Native American idea that we do not own the earth any more than a flea owns the dog it is living on. I love the perspective of this and appreciate the truth of it. At best we are stewards of our little slice of ground. But if we are wise, we can turn that little slice that we momentarily control into something that can provide for our families, create opportunity for the employment of others, and perhaps leave a legacy after we are gone. So we may not "own" the ground in reality or in metaphysical reality, but in the eyes of the guys with the big guns (our government), we have a right to prosper from the land we hold. So let's be about holding what we can.

2019 is going to be a banner year for us here at Flipping America. We have two projects that we have been working on for quite some time that are coming to completion this year. One of them has been a dream since the day this show was born and is finally becoming a reality - the Flipping America Network. The network is a place for training, deals, and services you need to further your success in investing.

The other project I can't discuss yet, but trust me it's going to be huge when it hits. A real game-changer. And that's all I can say right now, but man is it hard not to say more!

Rehabbers can look at the deals, the pictures, the information on the property, and make a decision. You can also reserve your zip code and get 48 hours of exclusive access to all new listings in that zip code. Homeowners - you can list your property in the FAN for free and get an all cash offer very quickly.

Sherelle, Long Beach, CA, "I'm trying to get my head around your inexpensive houses. I can't buy anything here for less than 400k. And that's junk. I can't imagine buying something for 10k or less. Do people really want to live in these? How do I learn more?"
